On September 27, as a result of an anti-dumping investigation, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia determined to implement anti-dumping measures for cold rolled products of alloy or non-alloy steel of a width less than 1,300mm exported from Japan.

During the anti-dumping investigation, the Japanese steel industry stated that exports of the cold rolled products from Japan have caused no injury to the domestic steel industry in Malaysia.

We believe that it is inappropriate and very regrettable that the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry of Malaysia has rejected our statements and concluded that the domestic steel industry in Malaysia has been injured by imports of the cold rolled products from Japan.

The Japanese steel industry will carefully study this decision and determine a proper course of action.
